What to Expect

IUPUI is committed to providing support for ALL students who wish to study abroad

Sexual identity, race, gender, and other issues may be approached differently in the host country where you choose to study abroad.

The Study Abroad Office is here to advise you on any concerns and provide resources to assist with your transition to life abroad.

LGBTQ+

Studying abroad can provide a unique opportunity to explore LGBTQ+ communities in other countries as well as their history and culture. It is important to keep in mind that every country is different and that students should be aware of their chosen study abroad program’s environment in regards to the expression of LGBTQ+ identity.

Below is a list of resources for LGBTQ+ students to view and look through to get a better understanding of traveling abroad.
